A stretch of Interstate 25 east of Fort Collins was temporarily closed Thursday for a suicide scare.

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office said it assisted police from Erie in locating an adult female who was reportedly suicidal and armed. Sheriff’s deputies contacted the female while she was in a vehicle on I-25 south of Prospect Road, according to a sheriff’s office release.

I-25 was briefly closed while deputies took the woman into protective custody. She was then transported to an area hospital for evaluation. No further information on the incident was released.
